were "short" beyond the very liberal allowance made by the law passed in 1910. There were however, 38 bottles in the lot which held more milk than required. Violations were filed against ten bottle manufacturers, though the rejected bottles were nearly all made by the Lockport Glass Company, the Empire Bottle and Supply Company and the Atlantic Bottle Company. The commissioner found that of 159 bottles examined at the depots of the Borden Company, 34 were short. Of 150 bottles of the field Farms Company, 40 didn't hold full measure.

87 tested at the establishment Alexander Campoff bell, 13 were short. while at the place of Henry Hass, West Brighton, 9 out of 12 bottles were short, and of the bottles belonging to E. T. Tillinghast, of Prince Bay, 61 out of 81 were short.

Tottenville, N. Y. Perth Amboy References. The officials of the Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad, to further safeguard the traveling public on the Amboy division, besides installing gates and placing flagmen and gongs at the crossings along line, are going to extend the Hall automatic block signal system from Clifton Junction to Pleasant Plains. The entire north and east shore divisions from St.

George to Arlington on the north side of the Island and from St. George to South Beach on the east shore has been equipped with the system for some time. About a year ago the system was installed from Tottenville to Pleasant Plains and when the new part is completed the entire road will be equipped with automatic signals. There will be forty-seven new stops put up on the new section between Clifton and Pleasant Plains. W.

L. Dryden, superintendent of electrical constructon of the Rapid Trangit, will probably start the first of the week to place the targets and run the wire from the system. The Lacroix automatic electrical signal system that had been used for experimental purposes along the Amboy division between Dongan Hills and Grasmere is being taken up to make room for installing the Hall system. The Lacroix system was recently passed by the InterCommerce Commission at Washington, D. as the best automatic stop system ever invented.

It most likely that several of the big roads of the country will is. adopt it. REGINA EUCHRE OLUB. Mrs. George W.
